Examples

The following code example uses the indexer to return a specified file object and display the title of the file, when the file was last modified, and the name of the user who modified the file.

This example requires using directives (Imports in Visual Basic) for the Microsoft.SharePoint and Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities namespaces.

The example also assumes the existence of an .aspx page that contains a label control.

Dim webSite As SPWeb = SPContext.Current.Web
Try
    Dim srcFile As SPFile = webSite.GetFolder("MyDocLib").Files("MyFile")

    Label1.Text = SPEncode.HtmlEncode(srcFile.Title) + " :: " + srcFile.TimeLastModified + " :: " + srcFile.ModifiedBy.Name
Finally
    webSite.Dispose()
End Try

SPWeb oWebsite = SPContext.Current.Web;
SPFile oFile = oWebsite.GetFolder("MyDocLib").Files["MyFile"];

Label1.Text = SPEncode.HtmlEncode(oFile.Title) + " :: " + 
    oFile.TimeLastModified + " :: " + oFile.ModifiedBy.Name;

The next code example uses the indexer to copy a file from a document library in one site to a document library in another site.

Dim siteCollection As New SPSite("http://MySiteCollection")
Try
    Dim destFiles As SPFileCollection = siteCollection.AllWebs("DestinWebSite").GetFolder("DestinDocLib").Files
    Dim srcFile As SPFile = siteCollection.AllWebs("SourceWebSite").GetFolder("SourceDocLib").Files("MyFile")

    Dim copyFile As Byte() = srcFile.OpenBinary()
        destFiles.Add(srcFile.Title, copyFile)
Finally
    srcSiteCollection.Dispose()
End Try

using (SPSite oSiteCollection = new SPSite("https://localhost"))
{
    SPFileCollection collFiles = oSiteCollection.AllWebs["DestWebSite"].GetFolder("DestDocLib").Files;
    SPFile oFile = siteCollection.AllWebs["SourceWebSite"].GetFolder("SourceDocLib").Files["MyFile"];
    byte[] binCopyFile = oFile.OpenBinary();
    collFiles.Add(oFile.Title, strCopyFile);
}
